Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2003Acute cholecystitis can develop without gallstones in critically ill or injured patients. However, the development of acute acalculous cholecystitis is not limited to surgical or injured patients, or even to the intensive care unit. Diabetes, malignant disease, abdominal vasculitis, congestive heart failure, cholesterol embolization, and shock or ...

Acute acalculous cholecystitis
Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2005Acute acalculous cholecystitis is defined as acute inflammation of the gallbladder in the absence of gallstones. Patients are usually critically ill with atherosclerotic heart disease, recent trauma, burn injury, surgery, or hemodynamic instability. The presentation of acute acalculous cholecystitis may be insidious, characterized by unexplained fever,

Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) has been frequently used as an alternative treatment for acute cholecystitis in seriously ill patients unfit for surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the recurrence rate and risk factors of recurrence.

Most gall bladders surgically removed contain stones. The incidence of cholelithiasis in published cholecystectomy series ranges from 75% to 100%, with an average for the aggregate of 92.5%.1Only occasionally has stonefree cholecystitis been considered separately.* However, acute inflammation, and even gangrene, of the gall bladder can occur in the ...

Acute emphysematous cholecystitis
The American Journal of Surgery, 1956Abstract 1. 1. Two cases of acute emphysematous cholecystitis are described and added to a total of thirty-four cases collected from the literature. 2. 2. The diagnosis is dependent upon the plain film of the abdomen showing gas in the gallbladder lumen. A gas-fluid level is often demonstrated. 3. 3.

THE preoperative diagnosis of gaseous cholecystitis has been comparatively rare, and in the absence of surgical or post-mortem examination, its detection is only possible by roentgenographic examination of the gall-bladder region. There is no way to distinguish gaseous or emphysematous cholecystitis from other cases of cholecystitis without such a ...

Acute Gangrenous Cholecystitis
New England Journal of Medicine, 1949GANGRENE of the gall bladder is a complete necrosis of a portion of the wall in one or more areas, and is frequently followed by perforation. Since 1844, when James Duncan,1 of the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, reported a case, the clinical application of the pathology of this disease has been a source of interest and concern to internists and surgeons.

Bacteremia occurs frequently in cholangitis, but the incidence of bacteremia in acute cholecystitis has not previously been examined.Seventy-eight cases (46 men and 32 women; mean age, 63 +/- 10 years) of acute cholecystitis with positive blood cultures were analyzed for clinical manifestation, bacteriology, and what consequences ensued.
